Quick, easy, impressive dessert required for tomorrow night!

[WibblyPigRocks]

DH is making pizza bases, I am making the tomato topping and providing a selection of lovely toppings - mushrooms, mozzarella, chorizo etc

My lovely friend always provides the most wonderful food when we eat round theirs - please give me something that I can make easily tomorrow for them.

Cheers!

this - they'll love you for it

Eton mess - easy and delicious and you can make without much effort.

buy some ready made meringues. The MS tubs of mini meringues (boakful name but nice product) are good.

If you're really flash, make some meringues, but it's a pain if they go wrong and IME getting it right once doesn't gtee getting it right the next time.

Then squidge them up with your hands into a bowl.

Whip up a tub of double cream so it's not too stiff and buttery but has puffed up.

Add to this, squashed raspberries, strawberries, and poss blue berries. All these quite cheap ATM or on offer.

Don't make it into a fool, just crushed.

Dead easy, impressive and a posh name.

Alternative, and easier - take posh oatbiscuits, Jacobs cream crackers and lots of posh cheese from a deli or M&S or whatever.

MamaG - I want that dessert more than anything at this moment - but I'm still avoiding peanuts while BFing!! Yes, yes I know the advice has changed and I'm probably being silly, but I'd feel funny abandoning this now after nearly two years (inc pregnancy). But I am DEFINITELY keeping that on file for when I stop!

Eton mess is a very good idea.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to make sure raspberries don't taste too sharp?

Pavlova - but add a tsp of rose water and melt chocolate over the top before you add the cream and strawberries/raspberries.

Or a cheat's approach: Waitrose brownies, heated up and served with a scoop of ice-cream, dusted with icing sugar.

bit of icing sugar in the raspbs. Just a touch to take away the acidity.

You can do fancy stuff with black pepper, balsamic and basil (not all at the same time) with strawbs.

Good grief, I am drooling and I haven't had my supper yet.
